Abstract

Systems and methods for quality of experience measurement and wireless network recommendation and/or switching are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises connecting to a cellular data network, measuring a signal strength value of a Wi-Fi data network within range of the digital device, calculating an overall Wi-Fi score based on the measured signal strength value of the Wi-Fi data network, measuring a signal strength value of the cellular data network, calculating an available bandwidth of the cellular data network, calculating an overall cellular data network score based on the measured signal strength value of the cellular data network and the calculated available bandwidth of the cellular data network, comparing the overall Wi-Fi score and the overall cellular data network score, and switching from the cellular data network to the Wi-Fi data network based on the comparison of the first bandwidth score to the bandwidth threshold value.
